IMO,ROY is not only one of the Yao's dreams.Because he said he felt frustrated when Suns took 8th playoff spot. He wants to be in playoffs and championships in future. Anyway,he's done excellent job in his first NBA season both in the court and out court. I do hope Rox start a plan concerntrate on Yao and Steve to to play in the future.Never talking leader of the team,just look Lakers,OK combination is the key to win the championships.I think co-leader got everyone involved in the game in rox will make rox champions.
Yes you are right about the deadline but traditionally most post season award votes come in well before the end of the season. Many of the voters turned their votes in even when the final playoff spot was still unclear. I have always been baffled why these voters are not given more time so that they can take the final games of the season into account if need be inorder to decide a very close race. That said, that Sina report (although I cannot read it) is based purely on speculation and rumour. Nothing is usually clear this early - maybe a week from now. Yao was asked to stay behind because common sense tells me that he is "in the running". If Amare was Nigerian and planning on going home immediate at the end of his season, the league would also ask him to stay behind also - normal procedure.
"short message" is SMS (simple messaging service) on the cellular phone. It's similar to a pager service. It is popular everywhere except the United States, although every nationwide cell phone company offers it I believe.
you know, if Steve said that people would be all over his ass about that meaning he had given up on us making it before we were actually out of it and thus didn't put his all into. sounds to me like yao has a problem with his competitive fire/desire. can never say the same about steve and cuttino.
I would like to know if there was anything added or lost in the translation before I jumped to a conclusion
Yao will win a close vote because he will get at least half of the Caron Butler votes from the south Florida voters who misread the ballots.
I've only seen Amare played a few games. I've seen him dunk but not a lot of anything else. Can someone tell me if he has an outside shot at all? What is his range? Did he get double-teamed a lot? Thks.
The reporter may have misheard what was exactly said or he may be trying to attract attention to the article. As of today the only thing the NBA has said was that Yao should stay until after the ROY award in New York just in case he gets it.
